The Kingdom (the movie)

I just watched a movie called "the kingdom",
My spirit was grieved by it....
The film is a good example why Volience is not an answer to volience, but only causes more volience, no matter what the cause.
At the end of the film it makes this clear, they reveal the words that the FBI team leader said to one of his team to get her to stop crying during a briefing in which it was announced that one of their colleoges and friends died.
These same words were spoken by an old Arabic man to his grandson....
And what were these words....

We will kill them all.

If that is everyone's response to volience, we are no better than each other, and the volience will continue. How many people do you know that repay volience for volience. That was the old covernment... and it doesn't work.
Jesus gave us a better way to over come volience.... and that is love and forgiveness. He tells us to bless those that perscute us, those that cause us harm... and also to forgive, love and pray for them. Jesus not only told us to do this, He also lived it... as He died on the cross, He prayed that God would forgive the people crucifying Him.
I have also seenm, in my own life, how powerful love, compassion, and forgiveness is, and that it is more powerful than volience, that love, compassion and forgiveness over come volience...
